JULIET
O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris,
From off the battlements of yonder tower;
Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk
Where serpents are; chain me with roaring bears;
Or shut me nightly in a charnel-house,
O'er-cover'd quite with dead men's rattling bones,
With reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls;
Or bid me go into a new-made grave
And hide me with a dead man in his shroud;
Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble;
And I will do it without fear or doubt,
To live an unstain'd wife to my sweet love.

Romeo and Juliet: Act 4 Scene 3 Close Reading- Google Classroom
In Act 4 – Scene 3, it is night and Juliet is alone and about to take the drug that will make
her seem dead so that she will escape marriage to Paris. She knows her parents will give
her a funeral and she will be laid to rest in the Capulets’ tomb where Tybalt’s body now
lies among those of her ancestors.
Her long speech is a very vivid, nightmarish one, conveying her terror about what she is
about to do. Remember she is only thirteen.
1. On your own, consider Juliet’s feelings at this point. How might she be feeling about
her parents, Romeo, the Nurse, the thought of her own funeral, Paris, Friar Lawrence,
what the drug will do to her body, being entombed alive, Tybalt’s body, the bodies of
her ancestors? Your answer should be at least 5 sentences in length.
